According to Wisconsin authorities, Steven Cowan, a 67-year-old man originally from Vermont, shot his television set after watching Bristol Palin perform on “Dancing with the Stars.” The police were contacted and it led to a 15-hour standoff until Cowan finally was convinced to come out of the house.

Cowan “jumped up and swore, saying something to the effect of “the —-ing politics.”The complaint added, “Steven was upset that a political figure’s daughter was dancing on this particular show when Steven did not think she was a good dancer.”
